I don't hold ANY candidate responsible for what one of their loose-cannon self-proclaimed supporters does in the general public. Ditto when random social media warrior wannabes harass and threaten political workers. Those are public safety matters best handled by law enforcement. There are lots of crazies out there.

But no candidate can duck blame when people whom they claim officially represent them riot at a sanctioned political event.

Sounds like the Hillary camp is sending in trouble makers and then blaming Sanders. Just like they did with Trump's rallies. Note to Sander's supporters: Don't be afraid to crack these goon's skulls. Trump's supporters stood up to them and they ran away.

These were people whom Bernie publicly claimed as his official delegates to the state convention. If Clinton was clever enough to pull THAT off, then that's just one more reason to vote for her!

Ahh, this is wonderful good fun to watch. Poor Barbara Boxer, did you see that idiot? Telling people if you boo, you are really booing Bernie Sanders. What a moron. Then the execrable Debbie Wasserman Schultz, blaming Sander's supporters for reacting badly to the policies she and the DNC enacted to protect Hillary and helping create this whole fiasco in the first place. Even the uber-liberal Mika Brzezinski couldn't take it and called on Debbie Wasserman Schultz to resign - Mika Brzezinski Calls on Debbie Wasserman Schultz to Resign | Mediaite

I hope Bernie and all his supporters tell the DNC and Boxer to stuff it.

Stay classy Dems -

So let me get this straight.....bernie, who's simply running for the nomination, is now responsible for the actions/behavior of mostly adults who follow him?

Me thinks hillary supporters/the machine are just very frustrated their queen is having a very, very tough time securing the nomination from this guy. She barely won kentucky and lost oregon and both were suppose to be easy wins for her. And I think bernie is going to win CA. Why the dems ran her is beyond me.

Why don't you ask him?
Oh wait, he's already answered:
Quote:
"No one in America should ever fear for their safety at a political rally,” Sanders, a Democratic candidate for the White House, said in a statement. “This ugly incident confirms that the politics of division has no place in our country. Mr. Trump should take responsibility for addressing his supporters' violent actions."

Trump has actively promoted violence. Sanders has not. I know you despise Sanders but this is just ridiculous.

Your claim is ridiculous. And it isn't Trump supporters that interrupt and shut down events. It's your fellow intolerant Bernie Bots, the Brown Shirts of America.

Most Bernie Sanders supporters are angry and they are protesting because they are poor.
